New AD Outreach Efforts - Free Faculty/Staff Tickets

[chomp]

UNT faculty and staff just received an email outlining a free ticket promotion for faculty & staff for the Marshall game. It sounds like the aim is for this to be an annual event. Not only is it great to see this kind of outreach by the new AD, but it is good to see some new thinking about ways that UNT can get more people interested in UNT football. Here is the blurb from the email:

Staff Senate and Athletics are partnering to debut the Staff and Faculty Appreciation tradition, which will provide each UNT faculty and staff member with two free tickets. Employees can purchase additional tickets for only $5. The game will also feature tailgating and a friendly competition between UNT divisions.

I like this idea. And the extra ticket allows that faculty member to bring his/her spouse or friend... and for only $5 can get their kids in. I think this could create a great trickle down effect on creating new generations of Mean Green fans. I wonder what the limit is on tickets they will give away for this promotion.
